“Send Coach John a message”I came across a gem today that I needed (of course I need it, why else would I connect with it.)  When these reminders come across my radar - it's so important for me to grab them, use them, and share them.  This is from Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches ) and the treasure they shared is this:  “Let me give so much time to the improvement of myself that I shall have no time to criticize others.” – John Wooden.  Of course it is from one of the greatest teachers of all time. This gets me fired up to keep looking for the gems I try and find every day to keep getting better and to stop wasting my time judging others, criticizing, condemning and complaining. Wow.. those things bring me down so much… and I need to look for ways to stop making those choices for sure. How about you? I'd love to hear some of your thoughts and ideas as to how you keep striving to improve yourself for the life that you want to build. I need all the help I can get.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

What if the key to creating more success isn't cutting back, but expanding what you believe is possible? In this episode, Christina dives into the powerful mindset shift from scarcity to abundance and why it has the potential to change everything. She unpacks the ways women are often conditioned to focus on saving, shrinking, and playing it safe, and challenges listeners to think differently: What if investing in yourself is actually the fastest path to growth? Through personal stories and practical insights, Christina explores how focusing on creating value instead of eliminating expenses can open doors to greater opportunities, confidence, and fulfillment. If you've ever found yourself holding back out of fear, questioning whether you're worthy of investing in your dreams, or feeling stuck in a cycle of scarcity, this conversation will inspire you to think bigger and step into a more abundant way of living. This episode is your reminder that abundance isn't just about money. It's about believing there is more available to you and having the courage to go after it.

“Send Coach John a message”Found a reminder that I needed to hear and connect with again. It comes from Roy T. Bennett (@InspiringThinkn) and the message is this:  “Make a difference in the world by being who you truly are.”  The reminder is that each and every day I need to make the choice as to try and continue to be who I truly am. Authenticity is a key ingredient that is missing in much of the world.  A big part of that missing key is for me not to have it missing in me and my life.  One thing for sure is for me to keep working on improving every day, so that I can be my authentic self and have the best shot at making a positive impact wherever I go.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great post that to me, connected to Fathers Day (and every day with people in our lives) and it comes from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey):  “The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get.” ~ Tim Russert. I found this totally true for not only my dad and the lessons and advice given to me throughout my lifetime - but to so many others too.  My mom, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc., along with so many other key people in my life fit into this too.  The other thing that hit me (as I recorded this in the mobile studio near an airport), is that we need to remember that we also are that person to others that offers examples and advice for living our best lives. Another reason for us to keep trying to be our best and to keep investing in ourselves so that we can give our best to ourselves and to others.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I connected with a post from Chris Foster (@CoachC_Foster) that served as a big reminder - “That dream was planted in your heart for a reason.”  I needed this and I think others need this reminder too!! No matter what is going on in our lives, staying connected to our dream(s), doesn't mean we have to uproot our lives. We can continue to learn, grow, and find times to work on our dreams and connect that dream (or dreams) into our lives. I tend to get down about some things at times and I forget to keep connected to my dreams. Keep the spark going, no matter what is going on in my life.  Look deep inside yourselves my friends, find that connection and keep it going!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.You can spot a reckless business setup from a mile away: no oversight, no reviews, no one empowered to tell the founder he's wrong. Yet a lot of high-performing men run their personal lives on exactly those terms and call it “private.” We put a bright light on the hidden structure behind that choice, starting with one sharp question: who is positioned to tell you no in the part of life you claim matters most?We walk through why capability is rarely born from character alone. In the workplace, markets, metrics, bosses, peers, and clients create consequences that keep your standards from quietly sliding. Then we apply that same “accountability map” to marriage, fatherhood, integrity, and personal leadership and the results are often unsettling: the professional you is supervised constantly, while the personal you answers to no one.From there, we draw a clear line between love and standing. People close to you can want more, feel hurt, and hope you change, but wanting is not authority. Standing is the kind of assessment you must reckon with because it carries weight and cost. We also name the cruel asymmetry many men build: the people with the most leverage are often the ones you could replace, while the people you cannot afford to lose are given the least power to confront you.Finally, we describe the missing seat in your life: a mentor for the man, not a cheerleader, not a drinking buddy, but someone who remembers your patterns better than your excuses and won't let you manage your way out. If this hits home, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more men can find the work.Key moments in this episode:00:00 The One Who Can Say No01:21 How Capability Gets Built03:29 Mapping Your Accountability05:49 Standing Versus Love07:11 The Inverted Leverage08:39 The Empty Mentor Seat11:22 Why The Seat Stays Empty13:16 Three Episodes Unified14:28 Band Of Brothers InvitationSupport the showThanks for listening to the Revolutionary Man Podcast.  For more information about our programs, please use the links below to learn more about us.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great thought - a short episode today to share this from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) & this reminder: “Some of your favorite days haven't even happened yet and that's the magic of being alive.” ~ (@mindfulheal). This got me fired up to realize that I still have better days ahead of me. My new favorite day is still coming and then there will be another one, and so on. I love that mindset to keep looking ahead for the next best day!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I shared a very emotional story in today's episode from our weekend trip to Northern Michigan. We saw a dog tied up on the side of a major expressway. Someone abandoned the poor thing. I got on my phone right away and called 911 to report this and they said they would send someone out right away to help the dog. I sure hope the dog is ok. I was in tears and I still have not shaken the memory from my mind and heart. It got me thinking about how much we need to treat animals / ourselves / others, so much better than we really do.  Humans have shown throughout history that we don't do this very well. This incident reminded me personally that I need to keep striving to get better and be better.  Better for myself, my wife, family, friends, others, and this includes our dog and other pets.  Someone's heartless, gutless and inhuman choice to leave their dog out there like that, has made a BIG impact on me to keep striving to be better.  I hope this helps you do the same.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. ** 

Most people think giving away their power is obvious. They think it looks like toxic relationships, difficult bosses, manipulative people, or circumstances beyond their control. But some of the biggest ways we give our power away are much more subtle. They show up in our everyday thoughts, habits, expectations, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the less obvious ways we unknowingly hand our power over to other people, situations, and even our own conditioning. We talk about: • waiting for permission before taking action • making other people responsible for how we feel • the need to be understood, validated, or approved of • expectations and attachment to outcomes • comparison and self-doubt • ignoring our intuition and inner knowing • the stories and identities that keep us stuck • why trying to do everything alone is also a form of giving away our power Most people think power is something they need to gain. What if power is less about gaining something and more about recognizing where you've been giving it away? This conversation is an invitation to become more aware, more intentional, and more honest about the patterns that may be draining your energy without you even realizing it. Because reclaiming your power doesn't always require a dramatic life change. Sometimes it begins by noticing the small leaks. And once you see them, you can't unsee them. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening! If you liked this episode, please send us a message. We'd love to hear from you!Your cup is full, your journey awaits.

“Send Coach John a message”I found something that got me thinking, reflecting, smiling and yes, having a few tears. It came from liminal (@Liminal1988) where they shared this post:  “A happy life doesn't consist of just happy moments, it is a mixture of both the happy and the sad.  There will be good times - when you laugh with your friends until your cheeks are read and your stomach hurts, trips to the park and the zoo, shopping and late-night ice-cream runs, and private jokes and notes passed in class, and every little prank that you play. There will be long lazy days spent at the beach as you dip into the ocean just as the sun sets, and holidays to countries with tender sand and warmth in the air, and nights you spend indoors with your family wrapped around you and the comforting days that you spend alone. ~ Ruby Dhal, (author of The Path to Self-love.)  Each item in this post got me thinking about many things throughout my life. In fact when I typed this out, I got to thinking about other things too.  So many things reminded me that I have had a happy life so far AND I plan to choose to continue to have more of a happy life too as I get older.  I sincerely hope this helps you to connect with having a happy life too.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found an amazingly short and simple item that I know I need to add to my to do list - maybe you do too. It comes from The Motivational Quotes (@MQUOTESLIFE) and the to-do item is this:  “Sometimes rest is the most productive thing you can do.”  One reason I see this as a good thing is that I'm getting older and so I can justify it a bit more.  But I'm also seeing the truth and importance of this truth too. To get through the tough moments that life can throw at us nowadays, really finding the time to rest and recharge is becoming more of a necessity instead of something to say “oh I wish I could rest and recharge”.  By resting, recharging, clearing our head, feeling better, recovering, etc., is that we can be better to go back and deal with things a bit later. Remember, when we are not at our best - we can't be our best for others.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found today's motivation tidbit from Jim Rohn Official (@OfficialJimRohn) where he reminds us about what success is really made up of.  Remember, we all have our own pieces of what success means to us.  "Success is a few simple disciplines practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day." — “Jim Rohn Simple. Daily. Repeated. That's the formula.”  As I let this sink in a bit, it's easy for me to see that I have plenty to work on each and every day and I am grateful for the chance to keep getting better.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Found a very spot-on post here for all of us to connect with. It comes from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where this is the gold nugget he shared:  “The world is changed by your example not by your opinion. - Paul Coelho ~ Talking the talk isn't enough………Walk the Walk!”  Way too many of us simply do too much talking (yes.. That is me you see standing up holding my hand up… guilty for sure on this one), instead of putting more action out there into the world. Social media is dominated I think with so many “keyboard warriors” who spew thoughts and opinions and then they are actually “walking a totally different walk.”  The hidden agenda by so many people is for so many other reasons than simply to try and live a good life and help others.   I know for one I need to keep walking my correct walk a bit more. I'm not going to put too many of my opinions out there telling others how to do their walk… other than encouraging them to actually “walk their walk.”  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I came across this list of great ways to improve our mental health. In today's world, it is for sure worthwhile to keep improving ourselves, and our mental health is one of the best things we can do for sure.  It comes from Sports Psychology (@SportPsychTips)  Here it is:  “Eight ways to improve your mental health:  1. Think positive, 2. Be in the moment, 3. Have fun, 4. Live a healthy lifestyle, 5. Work toward your goals, 6. Love others, 7. Have purpose in life and 8. Ask for help.”  I know for sure I have plenty to work on and this list sure does give me some things to keep focusing in on.  How about you?   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found a gem from a hall of famer, Nancy Lieberman (@NancyLieberman) who shared this truth:  “Life is so ironic, it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.”  These are simple truths that I usually don't think about too much. Now that I was reminded about it - these sure do make sense. I also need to seek them out more… more happiness, a bit more silence and I'm for sure valuing the presence of people that I love a lot more now.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a powerful and simple statement from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) that I connected with in yesterday's podcast.  “When we understand that each day isn't one more day, but one less, we start giving more value to what truly matters.”  I guess it's easier to see the truth in this statement as we get older. The key is to not wait too long to connect with it and allow it to have an impact on how you live your days.  Know that today is the youngest we will ever be and that tomorrow we will be older and closer to our last day. This gets me thinking about not wasting little moments throughout my day - right now.  Look around and see what really matters in your life and start connecting with that more and more… today!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

“Send Coach John a message”I was doing some looking for things to inspire, teach, remind and get me to do some reflecting… and I found this from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey).  You can also connect with him HERE on his blog site.  Coach shared:  “Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” ~ Anthony J. D'Angelo.  It's something that I discussed with a few friends & former colleagues on a quick visit to my old work place this morning.  It really does add tremendous value to every one of my days and it continues to inspire me to keep improving in any way I can. It's something that I will continue to share with others too. I know it adds more life to each of my days and I know it will do the same for you when you go after learning things, connecting with others and always looking to be your best.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I really enjoy days where I can find a simple reminder that has a lot of power behind it.  Today's reminder comes from Roy T. Bennett (@InspiringThinkn) where he reminds us about this:  “Faith, hope, love, and truth form the pillars of life; without them, nothing truly stands.” (Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart)  I am reminded about these pillars of life that I need to keep not only investing in improving in these areas for myself, but also that when I keep improving - everyone around me gets better too! This is about how powerful this is if we all keep looking to improve and help each other get better!   These parts of life are very “attractive” to have.  We connect with people when we have good things going on around ourselves. Since life is all about relationships, the more we can improve on those relationships, the better things will be.  One thing for sure, I need to keep working on many different things to keep getting better.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”My connection with John O'Leary keeps getting stronger as I continue to see what a difference maker he is for people. A recent podcast from him had this description “It is rarely the brightest lights or biggest personalities that change the world most profoundly. Far more often and far more importantly, it's ordinary people quietly choosing to use whatever gifts they have to lift the lives around them.”  You can find the short episode HERE.  The short part I am sharing in today's show gets me thinking about saying YES to doing more to making a difference for others and myself. The world needs us to use our gifts for the people around us that need help in whatever way we can help them.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this sermon, Pastor Rick teaches that real freedom is not doing whatever we want, but living the life God designed through self-control, purpose, fruitfulness, and continual progress. Drawing from God’s original design for humanity and Jesus’ call to discipleship, he challenges believers to take responsibility for their lives, overcome what keeps them stuck, and build a future that lasts according to God’s plan.

“Send Coach John a message”Going back to back here my friends as I connect with Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) again on a very thought provoking & taking a deep breath type of moment.  This lesson he introduces with his thoughts first:  “We spend so much energy regretting wrong decisions, failed attempts & lost time. Often detours are what help us discover who we truly are. Every mistake carries a lesson, every setback has meaning. The goal isn't to dwell on the past-it's to understand what it's here to teach us.”  This quote really does make sense, especially in today's techy world. “I'm a big fan of the ‘GPS Theory':  when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates.  No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward.  Life works like that too.  You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.”  I needed this easy to connect with thought. I've made mistakes for sure, but I do just need to keep finding another way forward.  Too bad I don't move as fast as my GPS does in calculating a new way. How's your GPS system doing? Stay plugged in to it for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Love the daily reminders and lessons I get from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and this one really got me thinking about a few things.  Mark's intro to the post was this:  “A message for today … Everyone is on their own unique journey. Appreciate the people who cross your path, cherish the lessons they leave behind & move forward with gratitude and purpose. Walk your path with kindness, integrity & purpose and embrace the journey ahead.”  These are powerful reminders for all of us and reminding ourselves of these, during the moments we are in them throughout life …. That is a key element to having an amazing life. The post said this:  “Everyone is on their own unique journey.  Walk your path with purpose, kindness, and integrity, while wishing others well on theirs.  When your paths meet, appreciate the moments you share together.  When they part, continue forward with strength and gratitude.  Cherish the lessons, memories, and footprints they leave on your heart, then embrace the opportunity to keep growing and discovering who you are along the way.”  As I read this and retyped it out here, I sure did think of so many people that have shared our journeys together.  Getting a little misty eyed about it too. Wow, I am blessed in so many ways and I am so very grateful for all of it. So many good people out there and I have connected with many of them.  I hope you have the same experiences too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Join Neil Epler as he explores the themes of personal responsibility and accountability in faith, drawing from Ezekiel 18. This sermon emphasizes the importance of individual actions and the opportunity for repentance and redemption. Epler addresses common misconceptions about generational sin, urging listeners to take responsibility for their own spiritual journey and to seek personal transformation through faith.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a powerful reminder that I know I need to take with me every day and I also know, FOR SURE, that others need to remember this too. It comes from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and it is this:  “Blowing out someone else's candle doesn't make yours shine any brighter.” We have way too much of people blowing out others' candles thinking that it's ok, and also that it means they are successful. Many that keep doing it also think it means they are a good person for others to follow - in business, religion, etc. It's total nonsense my friends. The thing is - I need to make sure that I'm not blowing out anyone's candles - I want to be the one to help them light them. The only candle to blow out is that of hate, intolerance, selfishness, etc.  Again, the world needs this reminder more now than ever.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I always love seeing some of the same strong people, who continue to post things on a regular basis that help others.  A former student of mine who is now a fabulous teacher and coach, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) is definitely one of those people that are a quality difference maker for others.  Here is his intro for the post I saw today: “Your % matters. You can't be a part-timer & expected to receive full-time benefits & rewards. Break ‘what you do' up into a % based on your number of opportunities & see how you stack up. Are your outcomes in line with your expectations? Does your % help or hurt your effort?”  Now remember, he writes these quotes out every day on a big white board in marker, for his students / players to see!  He's sharing these gems for anyone that wants to keep getting better - even if we are not in high school any more or that we don't play football either.  That's the beauty of being a lifetime learner… it happens every day if you go looking for it.  The quote that he wrote out is this:  “% Matters!  You can't be a part-timer & expect full time benefits & rewards.  In sports, percentages matter - 75% from the line is solid, while .350 from the plate is elite.  But in life, what % of the work are you actually doing?  If you're only showing up for half the reps, half the prep & half the effort - don't expect the whole result.  There isn't much middle ground for commitment & excuse.  The scoreboard will reflect  your investment.”  WOW!! Take that to heart my friends.  This got me thinking about my % as connected to my everyday life. What's my “batting average” for each day?  Am I even getting to the plate to take an at bat or am I content sitting in the bleachers and “resting” because it's more comfortable and I “get to” or “I've earned it” since I'm retired.  Dang Coach Ray…. you got this guy doing some deep thinking with this one my friend. Thank You! (I hope he's got you thinking too my friends.)  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found a new connection for this episode, and even if it's coming out a tad late, I still had to share it with you. It's from Bob Coniglio (@BobConiglio) and his message that goes with the quote is to “Enjoy the day.”  The thought he shared was this:  “Connection is why we're here.  It is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”  ~ Brene Brown.  Life is indeed all about connections.  It's about the people we build relationships with throughout life.  It's the sparks that we connect with that fuel our passion and our purpose. Here is the link for the speech (ordinary people do extraordinary things) from Coach Jim Valvano - HERE.   It's also the daily living we choose to go after that connects with both - people and our purpose. Keep investing in those choices every day my friends. As long as I live, I want to keep making these connections every day I have.

This talk is the fifth installment in a wellness series that takes a distinctly yogic approach to understanding life's challenges and spiritual development.Acharya das discusses the concept of "false shelter" (durashraya in Sanskrit) - the tendency to place unlimited trust in things that cannot provide genuine protection or happiness. He uses examples ranging from relationships and material possessions to modern technology and social media to illustrate how people become victims of their own poor choices rather than external circumstances. He stresses the importance of taking personal responsibility for life decisions and developing consequential thinking.Acharya das concludes with an emphasis on the importance of cultivating atma-tattva (knowledge of the soul/self) and the necessity of reconnecting with the Supreme Soul as the only genuine source of shelter and protection. He advocates for regular chanting meditation as a transformative practice that can lead to self-realization and God-realization, describing it as an immersive experience rather than a mental activity. Quotes used in the talk:For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be the greatest enemy. Bhagavad-gītā 6.6For one whose mind is unbridled, self-realization is difficult work. But he whose mind is controlled and who strives by right means is assured of success. That is My opinion. Bhagavad-gītā 6.36When a man in the material world takes more interest in the materialistic way of life than in spiritual/God consciousness, he is considered to be in a diseased condition. The normal condition is to remain an eternal servant of the Lord. This healthy condition is lost when the living entity forgets God due to being attracted by the external features of Krsna's maya energy. This world of maya is called durasraya, which means “false or bad shelter.” One who puts his faith in durasraya becomes a candidate for hoping against hope. In the material world everyone is trying to become happy, and although their material attempts are baffled in every way, due to their nescience [ignorance] they cannot understand their mistakes. People try to rectify one mistake by making another mistake. This is the way of the struggle for existence in the material world. If one in this condition is advised to take to [cultivating] God consciousness and be happy, he does not accept such instructions. – Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaPersons devoid of ātma-tattva do not inquire into the problems of life, being too attached to the fallible soldiers like the body, children and wife. Although sufficiently experienced, they still do not see their inevitable destruction. Bhāgavata Purāṇa 2.1.4“One who is not connected with the Supreme Soul can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?” – Bhagavad-gītā 2.66Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction to Yogic Wellness Philosophy ‎ 00:02:14 The Threefold Miseries and Realistic Expectations ‎ 00:04:35 Historical Foundation: Sanatana Goswami's Questions ‎ 00:13:32 Personal Responsibility in Relationships and Life Choices ‎ 00:19:24 The Search for Shelter and Modern Emptiness ‎ 00:26:07 Consequential Thinking and Rat Trap Happiness ‎ 00:29:17 Mind Control and Spiritual Practice ‎ 00:32:51 Modern Manipulation and Technology Addiction ‎ 00:37:34 False Shelter and Spiritual Guidance ‎ 00:42:00 Durashraya: The Nature of False Shelter ‎ 00:47:38 Fallible Soldiers and Spiritual Truth ‎ 00:50:00 True Shelter and Spiritual Connection ‎ 00:54:08 Chanting Meditation as Transformative Practice

“Send Coach John a message”I came across not only a post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) but I also just picked up a copy of his latest book “The Power of Positive Habits”.  Great stuff in my quest to just keep trying to get better and be my best version of myself. The post was this:  “There's nothing more powerful than a humble person with a warrior spirit who is driven by a bigger purpose.”  I love this!!  What a huge reminder for us to keep looking to be humble throughout life! Keep looking to have the mindset of a warrior - keep going, not giving up, get back up when getting knocked down, etc.  Keep feeding that spark inside of us that helps to make us who we are. Why are we here? What are we doing with our lives? I think it's all about constantly connecting with our purpose - every - single - day!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Found a great conversation that Greg Berge (@GregBerge) shared with a recent post. This thought was what the focus was on:  “The lie we tell ourselves. Once we win one I'll be happy.” - Sean McVay LA Rams Head Coach on Winning a Super Bowl.  Greg goes on to say “that Winning doesn't fill the void. It just moves the finish line. The real joy? The grind. The growth. The people.”  Like I've shared plenty of times before, life is about relationships. I love the last last that Coach McVay shares about transactional vs. transnational.  Take some of these points - like I need to do - and enact them into our life in order to help make it the best life we possibly can. So many more important things in life than winning, job titles, tons of money, fame, etc. The sooner we connect with the grind, the growth and the people that we want to build our lives around - the better off we will be.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Found this gem from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal)  and it's one that I haven't really connected with this thought before. This is the new connection to kindness for me.  “Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.”  I love this thought.  Encouraging others, lifting them up; more than pointing out something they might need to fix.  I think there is a lot of pointing out the faults of others.  What is more strengthening to others, is taking this higher and different “road” in interacting with them. One thing for sure, I need to do more of this for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fantastic reminder from Overmind (@overmind01) where this little gem was shared with everyone:  “8 billion people on Earth.  Almost none know you exist.  The few who do are too busy to care.  Relax.  No one's watching.  Go build your life.”  So much to digest out of these few sentences.  Reminding ourselves that just about everyone on this planet doesn't know who we are.  There are some good people - a few that do know us and are pulling for us, but that number is really small. Realizing that all of these people really don't have any say in what we want to do with our lives. It's up to us. We can't let outside “noise” get in the way of what we do with our lives.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message” I stumbled across a post from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) today that got me thinking about a few things. This was the quote that caught my eye today:  “Positions are temporary. Titles are limited. But how you treat people is always remembered.”  Once again, the world needs more of this. I know I keep mentioning this in my podcasts, but it's true. We can all do a better job of sharing and acting on things that help bring about better ways of living our lives. A big part of this also connects with others too. When we live our best lives, remember, we are changing “the world” by improving “our world” around us. All the titles, fancy positions and possessions, along with all the money in the world; none of it will win out over how we make others feel. Between remembering my uncle and the two young fellas I had some great conversations with yesterday - wow… there are tons of awesome examples out there for us to connect with and learn from. Remember, you are one of those examples that others can connect with and learn from too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

How Government Dependency Destroys Freedom: America is being conditioned to believe dependency is compassion and success is selfish. In this episode, Professor Nicholas Giordano exposes how government growth, fraud, and victimhood politics are eroding self-reliance, capitalism, and the American spirit. From the Vance fraud task force uncovering massive abuse in taxpayer-funded programs to New York City's fiscal collapse and California's homelessness disaster, this episode breaks down how bloated bureaucracies fail repeatedly while demanding more money and more power. The conversation explores the dangerous connection between economic dependency and political control using the ideas of Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell, while explaining why capitalism, personal responsibility, and self-governance remain essential to preserving liberty. What You'll Learn: How government dependency weakens freedom and expands political control  Why fraud, waste, and abuse are actively protected by the political class  What Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell understood about economic freedom  How failed government programs continue growing despite terrible results  Why rebuilding self-reliance and accountability is essential to saving the republic

Ryan Michler breaks down what it truly means for a man to be "safe" in a relationship - and why most men get it wrong. Drawing from his own failed marriage, he explains how emotional volatility, inconsistency, and lack of self-mastery can erode trust at home. Ryan challenges the idea that safety equals weakness, arguing instead that it's rooted in strength, discipline, and control. He outlines practical ways men can become more grounded, reliable, and առաջնորդ-driven - through emotional regulation, clear personal standards, accountability, and presence. This episode is a direct, no-excuses call for men to lead themselves first so they can better lead and protect their families.
